C7 He Raised or Raised Him
This small mountain village was built next to the green mountains, so it was called the Near-Mountain Village.
The villagers of the Near-Life Mountain Village had always lived here. They were constantly surrounded by the green mountains, like a circle of pigsty.
These villagers had never known what the world outside the green hills was like, but it did not stop them from looking forward to the outside world. If they could not cross the green hills, someone would build a boat and sail along the big river. However, these people who went from the downstream would always go from upstream to the opposite. There was no exception.
Today, the small mountain village was unusually lively because the Zhang family's grandfather and grandson had fished a person out of the river. This was an outsider.
What was the outside world like? Perhaps the answer could be found through this outsider.
They heard that this outsider was picked up from the river and had been unconscious all this time, so they carried him to the village chief's house, which was the most respected in the village.
Why did he have to be carried to the village chief's house?
Because the village chief was the most intelligent and knowledgeable person in the village.
What did this have to do with treatment?
Because the village chief was knowledgeable, he knew medical science.
The village chief was the only teacher in the village, and also the only doctor in the village.
The villagers surrounded the village chief's house. Even during the New Year, it was not so neat.
Those who hunted did not go up the mountain, and those who fished did not go into the water.
Everyone held their breaths and waited, hoping that this young man would tell them about the outside world.
"His body is fine"
The village chief carefully examined him before saying.
"No problem?"
Some people couldn't believe the village chief's words.
"If there is no problem, then why is he still unconscious?"
"Exactly!"
"The village chief will not be unable to find out, right? "
"Don't die just like that. I still want to ask if he has seen my missing brother!" The hunter said anxiously.
"Don't think about it, if we go into the depths of the mountain, only death awaits us, even if we hunt outside, it will be dangerous. Not to mention inside! " Someone struck a blow.
The hunter didn't say anything after hearing that. He could only sigh in a low voice.
"He thought he was dead, that's why he was unconscious" The village chief looked at the bright sun outside the house and continued, "Put him under the hot sun and make a few more piles of fire. "
Everyone looked at the blazing sun in the sky and could not help but hesitate. Someone asked, "Village chief, did this heat him up?"
The village chief laughed and said, "Death is cold, and fire is born. As long as he can feel the temperature, he will understand that he is not dead. Don't worry, the heat won't be bad "
When Old Man Zhang heard the village chief's affirmative answer, he called the fish over to start the fire.
Very quickly, under the combined efforts of everyone, more than ten piles of firewood, big and small, were lit around Chu Zhao.
The weather was hot and dry. The dry firewood would burn whenever it came into contact with fire, causing the temperature around Chu Zhao to be extremely high.
In order to avoid the high temperature, everyone stayed far away.
Zhang Yuer looked at the young man in the raging fire and was somewhat worried. She asked her grandfather by the side, "Big brother will be fine, right?"
Old Man Zhang fondly touched the fish's head and said affirmatively, "Don't worry. What your grandfather said is definitely right. He is the most intelligent person in our village!"
. . .
. . .
. . .
What kind of experience was death?
He believed that no one would be able to answer this question.
What kind of experience did he think it would be if he died?
Or perhaps he would stop thinking.
His five senses and six senses were all useless. All of his life force was infinitely close to zero.
The sun was high in the sky, and this weather was already enough to make people want to jump into the river and take a shower or directly swallow a large mouthful of ice.
Not to mention Chu Zhao, who was in the midst of the flames.
"Everyone, go and prepare the water. The more, the better!" The village chief shouted.
The villagers did not dare to hesitate when they saw the fire getting higher and higher. They took out all the tools in the house that could hold the water and hurriedly fetched the water from the river.
Cold and heat were relative. When one was in an extremely cold environment, one would feel hot as long as they touched something that was slightly hot.
Then what would happen if you were in an extremely cold environment and encountered something that was extremely hot?
A sudden heat or sudden cold could destroy the internal structure of an object. The most common method was to forge metal.
"It's burning!"
Zhang Yuer pointed at Chu Zhao and shouted anxiously.
That was because Chu Zhao's clothes could not withstand such a high temperature and started burning.
Zhang Yuer was somewhat anxious. She picked up a wooden bucket filled with water and was about to put out the fire.
The village chief grabbed her and said in a deep voice, "Wait a moment!"
Zhang Yuer pointed to Chu Zhao in the fire and said with a choking voice, "But it has already been lit up. People will die! If we don't put out the fire, it will be too late! "
The village chief did not say anything. He only tightened his grip on the fish.
Chu Zhao's body turned red from the heat. The blood in his body kept increasing in speed, exposing his blood vessels to the skin.
The water in his body kept evaporating, and his hair was burnt bare.
Hot!
It was as if his soul was trembling along with his body.
Pain!
There was not a single part of his body that didn't feel pain.
In the endless darkness of the abyss, Chu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes and saw endless flames burning fiercely around him.
"Ah!!!"
The burning pain of burning clothes all over his body was transmitted clearly and accurately through the nerves in his brain. It was the cruelest kind of punishment in the world, fire punishment.
A heart-wrenching roar echoed through the raging flames in this small mountain village.
"Extinguish the fire!"
The village chief shouted loudly.
A bucket of cold water splashed onto the fire, producing sizzling sounds.
Chu Zhao turned around and stood up like a man on fire.
"Hua!"
A bucket of clear water poured down on Chu Zhao's head. The sudden chill made him feel indescribably comfortable.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle ~"
Water kept pouring down, drenching Chu Zhao completely.
After the cool feeling passed, the intense pain that came from the burnt skin.
"Ahh ~ ~ Ah ~"
Looking at the group of people in front of him, Chu Zhao's eyes revealed a strong hostility. His throat sounded like it was being rubbed, and he said in a dry voice, "Who. . . Are you?"
. . .
. . .
. . .
The phoenix was born from the flames, soaring above the nine heavens.
The Near-Life Mountain Village was surrounded by mountains, and there was also a great river flowing in the mountains.
The Near-Life Mountain Village was more like a circle, and the villagers were raised animals.
Thinking of this, Chu Zhao felt some sympathy for the people here.
But thinking about how he was now like the people in these villages, trapped in this world that he could not get out of, he felt a little self-deprecating.
However, there were some questions that he still couldn't figure out. He was clearly on the way to Heaven Reaching Path, why did he suddenly come here?
Could it be that there was a spatial node in Heaven Reaching Path, and he accidentally fell into it?
But if he couldn't get out. . .
If he couldn't get out, then he shouldn't think about anything else!
Chu Zhao had been here for a very, very long time. But how long exactly was it? He couldn't remember clearly.
During this period of time, he tried hard to figure out how he got here, because he wanted to go back the way he came, and return to the world that belonged to him.
However, no matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't find any clues.
"Big brother, drink the fish soup"
The fish held a bowl of fish soup and walked towards Chu Zhao.
This was the fish soup that had just been brewed. It was very hot, but it was also very fragrant.
The thick fish soup swirled around his throat and then went down his throat. The fragrance lingered on his mouth and teeth, with a lingering fragrance.
"Does it taste good?" Fishy held her face and looked at Chu Zhao with a look of anticipation.
Looking at Fishy's innocent face, Chu Zhao felt a sense of warmth in his heart.
It was Old Man Zhang and Fishy who saved him. Old Man Zhang's wife had long passed away, and his son and daughter-in-law had died in the river.
So he stayed at Old Man Zhang's house and helped him do some work.
He was already very familiar with fishing, so he didn't need Old Man Zhang to leave the boat again.
"Yes, it's very good to drink. " Chu Zhao looked at the fish and said fondly.
"Hehe. Then I'll get another bowl for brother. "
Another bowl of fish soup entered his stomach. The warm fish soup made his stomach feel very comfortable.
"Fishy, do you have any dreams?"
"Dreams? What are those?"
"Un. . . It's the thing you want to do the most. "
"Ah ~ ~ I do!"
"What dream?"
"I want to grow up quickly. " Fishy smiled foolishly. She pointed at the sky with her index finger and looked even weirder.
"Why do you want to grow up quickly?"
"Because you can do a lot of things when you grow up! For example, you can go into the mountains with Aunt Zhang and the others to pick herbs. If you can pick herbs that can cure grandpa's knee pain, that would be great. "
"Yes, yes, Fishy is really a filial child. "
"Of course!" Fishy said proudly, "I also want to find a medicine that can cure your injuries. When it is cured, you will be as beautiful as before!"
Chu Zhao's face was disfigured. This was a very natural thing. Anyone who was roasted at such a high temperature would be disfigured beyond recognition.
In the beginning, most of the children in the village were scared out of their wits by his appearance, including Fishy.
However, after getting along with him for a long time, everyone got used to it.
Chu Zhao rubbed Fishy's head and said teasingly, "Then I'll thank Fishy first!"
Fishy pushed Chu Zhao's hand away and said very generously, "No need to thank me, no need to thank me. It's not like I specially went to find medicine for you. I'm looking for medicine for grandpa. If I happen to meet what you need, I'll pick it up for you. "
"Then what wish does big brother have?" Fishy imitated Chu Zhao and looked at the dark sky and asked.
The moon hung on the black curtain like a flag.
There were no stars on this flag, only curved crescents, and never full crescents.
"Why are there no stars here?" Chu Zhao muttered to himself.
"Stars? Are they the stars that big brother mentioned in the outside world?"
"Yes! There are many types of stars. Some are fleeting, some are flickering, and some are eternal stars. "
"Then it must be very beautiful!" The fish asked with longing.
"Yes! It was very beautiful! If there's a chance, I'll bring the fish outside to look at the stars. "
The fish nodded heavily. Its eyes curved like crescent moons as it said," Okay! "
Perhaps this place was really just a piece of land that some experts raised.
But. . .
Chu Zhao thought of those villagers who desperately wanted to see the outside world and could not help but feel a little sad.
However, the sheep he raised never knew that he had a master.
But a heart that thirsted for freedom, no matter where it was, it wouldn't change.
Chu Zhao looked at the tallest mountain in the mountains and thought, Since there is no Heaven Reaching Path here, let's climb to the top of the mountain and take a look!
